Clanfield Cricket Club - Summer Report (3)

Clanfield gained an excellent win on Wednesday evening when they posted what is believed to be the best ever score in a 20 over evening game at South Lane Meadow.

Batting first, Clanfield scored 179 for 2 against Millcomms Cricket Club, with no fewer than 6 batsmen scoring between 22 and 30. Alex Andrews, Chris Wheeler and Mark Turnbull all retired with Matt Bradley and Oscar Windebank not out at the end of the innings. All the visiting bowlers struggled on a decent pitch with 25 fours and 2 sixes being hit.

When Millcomms batted, they also managed to score at a reasonable rate, but lost regular wickets leaving them well short in the end on 110 for 9. Ben Cox (2-20), John Windebank (2-12) and Russ Stuart (2-12) were the pick of the bowlers. As the light faded with rapidly approaching cloudy skies, Omar Iqbal came back having previously retired and completed his 50 off the last ball of the innings.

We are looking forward to the next fixture.
